Okay,So I liked this book, but not as much as I usually like this author. This is one of her first books, so maybe that could be part of the reason.The things that I liked were the intrigue in the city of Waterdeep and a bit of insight into the polotics of the Lords. I liked getting to know the character of Elaith and the relationship between him and Danilo. I didn't like that Arilyn was not in this book (except in the very begining). I didn't like that the antagonist wasn't really evil, but disgruntled and you never really knew where she stood. The whole book seemed a bit anti-climactic, with the antagonist disapearing without any real follow up. The biggest problem I found was with the sub plot, with the Knights of the Sheild, Waterdeep's rivals in Tethyr. I felt like this would have been a better advisary, at least I was more interested in it then a disgruntled old bard.Cunningham is still a great realm's writer and I'm looking forward to the next instalment...maybe there will be more about Tethyr in that one.Cheers-
3.5 out of 5 starsI enjoyed how Elaine picked up the story from Elfshadow and continued the threads in this book. And I do love a sequel. I really do. This one just didn't strike me as anything that moved the needle into excellent territory. I will commend her on the grasp of the lore, the battles (harpies... yeah!), and the way in which she made spell casting feel like we were actually battling in 2nd edition D&D :)I'm not sure if I'll continue onto Silver Shadows... if I do, I don't think I'll be using Audible to listen to it - Eric Michael Summerer's narration did nothing for my enjoyment of the tale.
What do You think about Elfsong (2000)?
Bueno, teniendo en cuenta que del libro anterior dije que el personajes que más me gustaban eran Arilyn y Elaith, lo cierto es que cuando me encontré con que en este libro todo el protagonismo recaía en la figura de Danilo... pues fue una ligera decepción, por mucho que en la sinopsis me prometiera la aparición de Elaith. Me temía que iba a ser una aparición fugaz, al fin y al cabo, la verdadera unión entre Elaith y Danilo era Arilyn... así que sin ella no veía cómo iban a poder interesarse el uno por el otro.
